In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Newton Longville leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord consenting to such works. Where you fail to have the consents to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer in the first instance. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over rather than unresolved.
